Chapter 125 Wuping Mountain!
Early in the morning, Ye Zhen took out several bags of rice seeds, which were all rice that everyone recommended and considered delicious.
The rice was given to Dad Ye, and a few bags were set aside for Uncle Ye's family.
The wolfberries at the foot of the mountain are slowly turning red these days and will be ready for picking in a few days.
There were too many plants and trees in the area where Ye Zhen planned to plant tea oil, so Grandpa Ye volunteered to go to the village to find laborers to help.
There are many middle-aged and elderly people in the village. Grandpa Ye has his own criteria for who can work efficiently and diligently, so the matter of hiring people is left to Grandpa Ye.
Two hundred yuan a day, including two meals.
The area behind the mountain is large, and there are many places to plant. This time, Ye Zhen plans to plant tea oil on the hillside. There is plenty of sunshine on the hillside. Ye Zhen does not intend to move other places. In fact, he cannot move them because there are all big trees there. It is enough to plant some fruit trees with high economic value below the mountainside.
This time I will go to the green plant base to see if there are any new fruit trees to buy, and it will be urgent to ask people to help weed, dig holes and plant trees.
Soon, the elderly men and women in the village and the young and strong men from the neighboring villages all came over. There were more than twenty people, and a lot of ingredients were needed to cook.
"Come on, have you all eaten?" Ye's mother arranged for everyone to drink water. Although only lunch and dinner were included, she still had to be polite.
"I've eaten, I've eaten. While it's still early and the sun isn't too strong, let's get to work early." Zhang Shuiying replied with a smile.
She asked her son to help weed the strawberries in the field. There was nothing to do at home, but Zhang Shuiying couldn't sit idle. When she heard that Ye Minghai's family needed help, she came immediately. The wages were not low!
It would take several days to finish such a large piece of land? I guess I can get a lot!
Now that people have arrived, things are about to begin, so Mother Ye quickly delivers the grain to Uncle Ye.
Naturally, Aunt Ye also heard that Ye Zhen was going to do something big again.
Tentatively asked Ye Ma: "Second sister-in-law, your family is going to plant something in the back mountain again. The back mountain is quite large. It will take a lot of people, right?"
How could Mother Ye not know what her sister-in-law meant? Now it doesn't require two people to grow rice seeds. Uncle Ye is enough in the field alone, so won't Aunt Ye have some free time?
"Yes, do you want to come and help for a few days?"
"Go, if you need more people, go!" Aunt Ye said simply, "If Ye Ma needs more people, then that's fine." She took out her sickle and hoe and went over immediately.
"Don't forget to wear long sleeves, or you can wear sleeves, there are many thorns on the mountain." Ye's mother reminded.
Grandma Ye felt that she was still able to work, so she helped to pull out some weeds, so the two old people followed her up the mountain.
Both old people wanted to go up the mountain to help, and Ye Zhen quickly offered to pay them wages, which made the two old people happy and full of energy.
Everyone in the family is busy. Dad Ye also needs to sow rice and raise seedlings, so little brother Ye is just lying on a reclining chair playing games with nothing to do.
After the exam, Brother Ye felt that he had gone through a difficult period of studying and should relax. Mother Ye did not stop him because there was endless farm work to do at home anyway.
The whole family has to go into battle, so there's no reason to leave behind a big guy like Ye, right? Just relax now.
Not much, just this morning!
"Yoko, are you going to follow your mother and the others up the mountain to help, or are you going to follow me to the fields to sow seeds?"
Apparently, Father Ye couldn't bear to see little brother Ye lying comfortably, so he had to give him something to do.
It is not okay for a young man to do nothing at such a young age. If he becomes lazy, how can he become the support of his family when he grows up?
Got to move!
Little Brother Ye wailed, "Dad, can't I take a break? I just finished my exam!"
Father Ye snorted, "How else do you want to rest? Didn't you lie down enough yesterday?"
"How can that be done in one day? I haven't rested enough!"
"Hurry up and get up. What's fun about mobile phones?" Dad Ye doesn't indulge little brother Ye. He glared at him and little brother Ye didn't dare to talk anymore.
However, Ye Yang's eyes narrowed: "What does my sister do?"
"Your sister is going to South City to buy seedlings. Our family wants to plant fruit trees, so we need your sister to pick the seedlings carefully."
"Hurry up and stop talking too much. You've already pulled out a lot of weeds in this time." Dad Ye urged younger brother Ye.
"If you work for a day today, you will be paid just like your grandparents. How about that?" Ye Zhen asked Ye Xiaodi with a smile.
Ye Yang's eyes lit up: "Really? I'll do it!"
He has wanted to buy the latest model of sneakers for a long time, but they are expensive and he is embarrassed to ask his parents for money. He has been saving for a long time, but the money given by Mr. and Mrs. Ye is just enough. Even if he saves money by the skin of his teeth, it is still too slow.
Now, the whole family had something to do. Father Ye finally told Ye Zhen:
"What time will you be back from South City? If you come back early, I'll buy some chicken, duck, fish, etc., and prepare lunch for everyone. If you don't come back, call me in advance and I'll go to town to buy it first."
Ye Zhen estimated the time. It was not far to South City, about an hour's drive, which means a round trip of more than three hours. It was only a little after seven o'clock, so he should be able to make it in time.
…………
We drove all the way and followed the navigation, and it was almost nine o'clock when we arrived.
The Nancheng green plant base covers a large area, with hillsides covered with green plants.
Ye Zhen drove for a long time after arriving at the destination before entering.
As soon as you enter the gate, you will see green plants and flowers of various sizes everywhere. Tall trees stand by the road, and there are well-trimmed welcoming pines and other ornamental flowers and trees in the courtyard.
Driving all the way, Ye Zhen looked for someone and followed the instructions to find the relevant person in charge.
When he heard that Ye Zhen wanted to buy tea leaves in large quantities, he took Ye Zhen to a hillside:
"We have many varieties of oil tea here, including yellow robe wild tea, small fruit oil tea, soft branch oil tea, multi-toothed red mountain camellia, and large fruit oil tea..."
Ye Zhen followed him walking on the hillside, looking in the direction the other person pointed. Different oil tea varieties must be different. Some have high oil yields, some have large yields, and some have different tea seed weights...
Ye Zhen did his homework in advance and asked, "Do you have large-fruited safflower tea oil?"
The person in charge was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied:
“Yes, but not very many.”
Taking Ye Zhen to a sunny hillside, the person in charge introduced Ye Zhen:
"The oil tea seedlings here are two years old, and those over there are three years old. They bear fruit after three years, so the price..."
Ye Zhen understood it immediately. It takes three years for oil tea trees to bear fruit. Fruits older than five years cannot be kept. It actually takes about seven years to pick the fruit, so the price of the seedlings is naturally different.
Ye Zhen plans to buy five-year-old seedlings and use spiritual energy to accelerate their age when he returns. In this way, the fruit trees have absorbed the earth's energy for several years, and the spiritual energy used to accelerate their growth in the later period will not affect Ye Zhen's practice.
As long as you plant it on your own mountain for one or two years, you can almost pick the fruit.
"I need about 3,000 five-year-old fruit trees. Do you have that many?"
The person in charge was overjoyed. He thought Ye Zhen only needed a few hundred trees, so he didn't mention any old tea oil trees.
"Yes! There are also older years with higher oil yields. You can look at these fruits."
The person in charge took Ye Zhen to another place and pointed to some fruits that were about the size of a child's fist. The fruits were not ripe yet, but they would grow even bigger when they were ripe.
Ye Zhen weighed the fruit with satisfaction. It was indeed big enough. Other varieties of tea oil were still small, but this one was much larger than other varieties in terms of weight alone.
It’s just that it’s difficult to transplant now during the fruit-bearing season. The five-year-old fruits have already been pruned by the employees, so transplanting will not be affected.
Even if there is an impact, it won’t be a big deal if Ye Zhen gives some spiritual energy.
How spiritual she is now.
After Ye Zhen ordered the tea trees, he saw another area full of fruit trees and asked:
"Hello, do you have any fruit trees with high economic value?"
The person in charge was delighted and responded quickly, "Yes, we have most of the fruit trees in our planting area. We have also collected seeds for some fruit trees that are not suitable for planting in the area. I am not bragging, but my green plant variety is rich. Most of the fruit trees on the market are available here."
The person in charge was proud and proud that the climate here was suitable and naturally suitable for growing things.
But I don’t know what’s going on, this area is particularly good, and any plant that is picky about the environment can survive in his land!
Ye Zhen looked towards the distant mountains and chatted with the other party:
"The planting base here is very large. It must be difficult to take care of so many varieties of green plants. I'm afraid we need to hire a lot of leaf experts to take care of them, right?"
"Yes, fortunately the climate here is good, everything grows, but we also hired a lot of people to take care of it." The person in charge smiled, looking at the green plants around, feeling relieved and proud, "At the beginning, I thought this piece of land was good, with green trees and shade, and I thought it would be a good place to build a planting base, so I contracted it."
Ye Zhen smiled and praised: "So you are the boss. You are really courageous. You have contracted such a large piece of land. I will give you a discount when I buy trees from you in the future!"
The boss's eyes flashed with wisdom, "If you buy a large number of saplings later, I will give you a preferential price." If you buy too little, there will be no more.
Ye Zhen heard the call, smiled, and continued chatting. Finally, he turned to the topic and asked the boss casually:
"Boss, is that mountain yours too?"
The boss looked over and said, "No, the mountain is deep, there are steep cliffs, the road is dangerous, and the land is too large. It's not suitable to contract it." The main reason is that the price is too high, far beyond expectations, and it is not cost-effective.
"It looks like some places are quite suitable for planting?" Ye Zhen seemed puzzled.
"Oh! Only that little bit of land is flat, the rest is rugged and there's a big deep pit inside. If you fall into it by accident, you'll be dead. I don't dare to take the risk."
After all, contracting a mountain requires hiring people. If someone accidentally has an accident, it will be too late to pay compensation. Although the mountain range is large, there are many trees, and they are not allowed to be cut down, so people have to be hired to clear them, which is not cost-effective.
The boss shook his head and said that he had only planted some flowers and green plants on the flat area at the foot of the mountain.
"What is the name of that mountain?" Ye Zhen continued to ask.
"Mist Ping Mountain!"
Oh, Ye Zhen knew it. The plant with spiritual energy came from there. No wonder Ye Zhen could vaguely feel the spiritual energy there even though he was standing so far away.
There's something different about that mountain!
